Translated passage from “Las Iniciales de la Tierra” by Jesus Diaz (Editorial Letras Cubanas, La Habana, 1987).  Translation by Magdalena Sosa

The Rueda continues being the Rueda, a higher envied scale of the religion of dance to which the beginners could belong only if they mastered the seven secrets of Casino style, and they attended, punctually, to dance massed on Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturday’s……There, circles were invented when the Rueda grew so much that menaced to burst, and the collective decision approved by everybody of establishing as top sixty dancing partners arose, from that moment on, the Rueda grew in depth not in extension: the one who made a mistake any Sunday, should accept the infamous punishment of being taken out in front of everybody, and give his/her place to an aspirant dancing partner.

SalsaMatics Workshop Series

Episode 2: Salsa Caminada - enchuflas, paseas, exhibes y vacilias

At The Roccopulco Night Club!!!

May 12th, 19th, and 26th of 2010

In our second installment of our SalsaMatics series we will open it up two more distances from our partner. We will also explore and become grounded in our core Casino Salsa movements; enchufla, paseas, exhibes and vacilia. We will examine how we move out of our closed position framework and create a more fluid framework to allow for more freedom of interaction between you and your partner. Participants should be intermediate to advanced Salsa and Salsa Casino dancers and have a working knowledge of these core movements as well as “dile que no”. We will be exploring using more advanced movements in your basic turns and how that relates to more complicated figures.

3-week progressive workshop series

3 Wednesdays in May 8:30pm till 9:30 pm at Roccopulco: 3140 Mission Street, San Francisco

PRICES INCLUDE YOUR ADMISSION TO ROCCAPULCO FOR DANCING AFTERWARDS

May 18th we will continue our progressive workshop series. This progressive series has a carefully crafted curriculum with varying levels to get you started dancing Rueda de Casino or dancing at the next level. Beginning levels will get you familiar with basic Rueda de Casino and Salsa and our Intermediate workshop is designed to bring you to the advanced level.

Nick and Serena teach together giving you the benefit of both lead and follow technique and styling. They bring over 10 years of experience at teaching in the Bay area. Bios at: http://salsavaletodo.com/valetodoprivates.htm

Experienced Salsa Rueda dancers : Is there a gap in your knowledge, moves that you are not familiar with? Perhaps you have some friends who have never done Salsa or Rueda before, here’s their chance to get involved.

Experienced Salsa Dancers: Even if you have been dancing Salsa for awhile it is a good idea to start at the beginning when learning the Salsa Rueda curriculum. Here is your opportunity. All the moves you need to get you to the intermediate level.

New Salsa dancers: Have no fear; you can learn both Salsa and Salsa Rueda at the same time. In fact it is a great way to learn club style dancing. The skills you learn from dancing this style of Salsa will make you a better club dancer in the end.

We encourage everybody to come and join our growing community of Salsa Rueda enthusiasts.
